After greeting and shaking hands with Aiwass, Arlen turned his attention to Lily, who stood behind Aiwass: "I presume this lady must be Miss Lily? Are you also joining our club?"
"…Eh?"
Lily gave a small utterance of surprise, not quite understanding. Nonetheless, she politely returned Arlen's gesture with a curtsy.
Aiwass suddenly realized why Arlen was being so polite to him and Lily.
To confirm his thoughts, Aiwass asked on her behalf, "Do you know Lily as well?"
"Of course. The matter of Princess Isabel entertaining the two of you last night, I believe, has already spread throughout the entire Royal Capital."
The corners of Arlen's mouth rarely curved upward, but he displayed a faint, albeit not-so-obvious smile on his otherwise stern face: "I remember that banquet was attended by Master Yanis… After which, the Princess handed over the keys to 14 Roning Street to you."
